Pastor Craig launched our Christmas series, Come and Behold Him, focusing on Isaiah 9:1–7, this week to highlight the call to BEHOLD Jesus. He shared that “Begin, Behold, Become” is more than a sermon title—it’s an invitation into a daily lifestyle of gazing upon Christ with focused attention, time, and intentionality.
Through the Messianic promises of Isaiah and the names of Jesus—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—Pastor Craig emphasized how beholding Jesus brings restoration, emotional healing, and renewed identity. He encouraged us to make Scripture engagement and Christ-centered focus the priority over culture as we enter 2026.
The message closed with a call to reflect: What are you truly gazing at each day—and how might your life change if Jesus became the One you behold above all else?
This week’s message, Building Our Lives from Nehemiah 13, explored how Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem only to find spiritual foundations weakened and God's people drifting from their commitments.
Pastor Doug highlighted three broken promises from Nehemiah 10—separation, Sabbath, and support—that led to chaos, and then walked us through Nehemiah 13’s call to strengthen worship, sustain God’s promises, and surround ourselves with people who help us stay faithful. Using vivid images of collapsed buildings versus solid framing, he reminded us that our spiritual integrity requires disciplined worship, intentional rest, and Christ-centered relationships.
The challenge for us is to evaluate our own foundations: Are we maintaining worship, honoring Sabbath rest, and aligning our closest relationships to support our walk with Christ? How strong is the foundation of your life—and what might God be asking you to rebuild?
This week’s message continued our series Building a People in the Book of Nehemiah, focusing on highlighted verses throughout the book of Nehemiah. Pastor Keith Jenkins taught a sermon titled “Gems of Nehemiah,” highlighting four key truths about how God restores what is broken and builds through unified, faithful people.
He reminded us that just as God rebuilt the ruined walls of Jerusalem, He also restores our lives and calls us to participate in His mission to bring hope to our community. Pastor Keith emphasized the power of unity, shared testimony, and intercessory prayer as essential to God’s rebuilding work.
How might God be inviting you to step into His restoration and join in the mission He is building through His people?
This week’s message, Wholly Devoted, centered on Nehemiah 10 as Pastor Craig reminded us that, just as Israel rebuilt the walls and restored the Temple, we are called to strengthen the “gates” of our own lives—emotional, mental, relational, sexual, social, spiritual, and financial. He contrasted immature fanaticism with the wholehearted devotion modeled perfectly by Jesus, calling us to pursue wise, passionate commitment as we address generational patterns and rebuild the areas God has entrusted to us.
Pastor Craig also highlighted the Israelites’ renewed vows in Nehemiah 10, emphasizing Sabbath rest, faithful service, and tithing as essential practices of a wholly devoted life. We were invited to engage in the upcoming church-wide fast, seek God’s wisdom for our commitments, and trust that obedience—especially in giving—opens the door for God’s blessing. How might God be calling you to rebuild your gates and pursue wholehearted devotion in this season?
